I'm not representing any organization. I represent the people of Ohio, and a lot of people in Ohio feel very strongly about their Second Amendment rights.

The Second Amendment is an integral part of the Bill of Rights.

I'm a defender of the Second Amendment to the Constitution.

The constitution shall never be construed...to prevent the people of the United States who are peaceable citizens from keeping their own arms.

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

[The Constitution preserves] the advantage of being armed which Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation (where) the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms.
